Jofra Archer will miss England’s tours to the Caribbean in January and March, after undergoing a second operation on his ailing right elbow. After undergoing surgery in London, the fast bowler has been ruled out of the rest of the winter schedule.
Archer has not played international cricket since March owing to a stress fracture in his elbow, and after an unsuccessful comeback for Sussex in May, he underwent surgery.
After additional scans confirmed a recurrence of the injury, the ECB announced in August that he would miss the T20 World Cup and the Ashes.
On December 11, he underwent a second operation in London to “correct the long-standing stress fracture of his right elbow,” according to the ECB.
“A return to cricket will be considered in due course,” the statement said, “although Jofra will not be available for England’s remaining winter series.”

And it is unclear whether he would be fit enough to play in the 2022 season.
Archer had earlier stated in his daily column that he hoped to be ready in time for the three-Test series against the West Indies in March, but due to his current setback, he will not play international cricket between March 2021 and June 2022.
While his latest surgery may cast doubt on his future as an all-format fast bowler, Archer himself underlined the importance of “patience” during an interview with Australia’s Channel 7 during the first Ashes Test, just days before his surgery.
He had stated, “Everything is moving along wonderfully.” “All I have to do now is wait a little longer and be a little more patient since I’m nearly at the end of the journey.”
In any case, England has already felt his absence across forms. Following their loss in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup last month and their troubles. In the first two Tests of the ongoing Ashes series.
The planned England strategy for winning the Ashes in Australia for the first time in 2010-11. Had centered on a battery of 90mph bowlers, with Archer leading the charge. With Mark Wood and Warwickshire’s Olly Stone, who was ruled out before the series began with a back stress fracture.
With just Wood remaining available after being sidelined for this week’s second Test in Adelaide. England is currently 2-0 down with three Tests remaining. And might be on course for their third whitewash in Australia in four tours.
